In an astounding display of renewed vigor and patriotism, the U.S. Army has shattered its recruiting goals, marking the most successful enlistment numbers in over a decade.

Under the decisive “America First” leadership of President Donald Trump, America’s youth are once again eager to serve, drawing a stark contrast to the dismal figures seen under the Biden regime.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth highlighted the significance of this achievement in a statement to X, revealing that December 2024 saw the best recruiting numbers in 12 years, with January 2025 setting a record not seen in the last 15 years.

“In December 2024, the US Army had its best recruiting number in 12 years. In January 2025, the Army hit its best recruiting number in 15 YEARS. BOTTOM LINE: America’s youth want to serve under the bold & strong “America First” leadership of Donald Trump,” Hegseth wrote.

The pervo outreach must be finally starting to work. We just had to be patient.

No it has bene months of Trump expectations.

I am ex-mil and for the last 3 years I have been telling good kids not to enlist, something I had never recommended against in the past.

As of late I have been more a wait and see, and now I support it again.

Agree. Would never encourage enlisting before, but now would say if it is something that the young person wants they should do it right away and be sure to have the option of getting out within four years time....

They’ve been waiting for a proper military to join.

"It’s been a couple weeks.....???"

It's been 4 months since he was elected. Plus, he looked promising in the election cycle against Kommila. This is another WIN!

Americans have been waiting for President Trump and it showed. It was obvious then; it is obvious now. Plus, with Sec. Hegseth eliminating DEI from our Armed Forces, another WIN. Also, retention will increase, and the Warrior mentality will once again make our fighting forces the best in the World.

GO ARMY!

Any bets on the percentage of increased Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force, and National Guard?

Same here. There’s a lot to take advantage of, and you won’t have to serve an openly woke agenda with Trump and Hegseth in charge.

People must be really looking forward to RFK as Secretary of HHS, and really took to taking care of their health in the one month between the election and December.

I mean the previous bunch of fags in DC and at the Pentagon kept saying recruiting was off because American kids were fat and lazy.....and that it absolutely, positively, beyond reasonable doubt or stretch of the imagination, had nothing at all to do with American men deciding they wouldn't serve under the feckless, pervert worshipping, woke idiots.

That leaves the only possible reason is somehow, some way, a bunch of kids got miraculously healthy, and within height/weight standards....you know, in a month.

Now they aren’t going to be deployed to some shithole like Ukraine to fight somebody else’s battles.
